"'''Nuestro Amor'''" is a song by Mexican pop group [[RBD]], released on 25 August 2005 as the lead single from the group's second [[Nuestro Amor|studio album of the same name]]. The song was used to promote the second season of the soap opera ''[[Rebelde (Mexican telenovela)|Rebelde]]''.
== Background and release ==
The Mexican telenovela ''[[Rebelde]]'' began production of its second season in 2005. The group (who lead the cast of young actors in the show) recorded their second studio album and toured while on break. "Nuestro Amor" was released on 25 August as the album's lead single, and it was used as the new theme song for the show.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 January 2005 |title=Nuestro Amor |url=https://open.spotify.com/track/7F7qwp7VZRVwZsNoddRRgX?si=e29bd90c7c3d434e |access-date=25 January 2024 |website=[[Spotify]]}}</ref> Unlike the first season, parts of the music video were not used for the intro.
Following the success of the band's [[Rebelde (Edição Brasil)|Brazilian edition]] of their [[Rebelde (album)|debut album]], production decided to give ''[[Nuestro Amor]]'' the same treatment, and had the group record a Portuguese version titled ''[[Nosso Amor Rebelde]]''. The song's Portuguese version is called '''"Nosso Amor"''' and was released as a single in Brazil in May 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 January 2006 |title=Nosso Amor |url=https://open.spotify.com/track/0dpUPqWu5C16PjVcpilmIX?si=cefc84f6b1ee4f15 |access-date=25 January 2024 |website=[[Spotify]]}}</ref> A special music video for this version of the song was planned but ended up being scrapped.
An English version of the song was also recorded, under the title '''"This Is Love"''' ("Esto Es Amor"), as part of RBD's first English studio album, ''[[Rebels (album)|Rebels]]'', released in November 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 January 2006 |title=This Is Love |url=https://open.spotify.com/track/6vBNrP2ZdyFwZ5fDERajsi?si=fd9b0b8d77004028 |access-date=25 January 2024 |website=[[Spotify]]}}</ref> Despite singing the second pre-chorus with [[Maite Perroni|Maite]] in the original and Portuguese versions, [[Alfonso Herrera|Alfonso]] was absent in this version of the song.
== Composition and lyrics ==
"Nuestro Amor" is a [[Latin pop]], [[pop rock]] and [[teen pop]] song that lasts for three minutes and 33 seconds. It was written by Memo Méndez Guiu and Emil "Billy" Méndez, and produced by Pedro Daminan, the show's executive producer. It is structured in the [[Song structure|verse-pre-chorus-chorus]] form. The song is assumed to be sung from the point of view of the actors' characters in the telenovela, although Alfonso and [[Anahí]] don't sing together like [[Dulce María|Dulce]] and [[Christopher von Uckermann|Christopher]].
The lyrics are about the group celebrating their new love. The song opens with Dulce and Christopher, each describing their love as "magical" and "easy". The first pre-chorus is done by Maite with [[Christian Chávez|Christian]], comparing it to "a dream", and saying how "everything is happening". During the chorus, the band affirm that their love "i[t']s like this / And there's nothing to do about it", asserting "this is how it happens, this love". The second verse is sung by Christian and Anahí, with the former calling it "so simple" and the latter stating "And I don't know how long [this] love will last / But today", before stating in unison that "there's nothing better". The second pre-chorus is done by Maite again, this time with Alfonso. The second chorus is repeated twice, before leading to a [[Bridge (music)|bridge]] containing a [[guitar solo]]. The last chorus is also repeated, and includes four ad-libs from Anahí and Christian each, although the former sings in a higher range.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RBD – "Nuestro Amor" Lyrics |url=https://genius.com/Rbd-nuestro-amor-lyrics |access-date=1 December 2023 |website=[[Genius (company)|Genius]]}}</ref>
==Music video==
The [[music video]] for the song was filmed in early August 2005 at [[Jardines del Pedregal|Pedregal]], Distrito Federal in Mexico and was directed by Amin Azali. It was their first video not directed by Pedro Damián and premiered in September in the United States and Mexico.
It is supposed to take place sometime during the events of the telenovela, as the pairings shown in the video are from the show, and not real life. The vídeo is about a "date" the girls and boys of RBD have. It starts with a phone call between Dulce Maria and Christopher, with Dulce in a bathub and Christopher in a window of another building. The girls then dress up elegantly for the date night they are about to have. The male members get ready for the romantic dinner, too, in a Japanese-looking house, where they look for the girls as they had left clues for them in order to find them. Finally, the band walk outside and sit around, sing, enjoy the moonlight and oddly, share some bottles of milk from which they drink.
==Chart performance==
The song became RBD's fifth major hit in Mexico. The song peaked at number two on ''Billboard'' [[Latin Pop Airplay]] chart and number six on ''Billboard''<nowiki/>'s [[Hot Latin Songs]] and [[Tropical Airplay|Latin Tropical Airplay]] chart. The song also peaked at number 33 in its 10th week on the Romanian Airplay Chart.<ref name="ROM"/>
